Chapter 540: A Few Requirements

When it comes to conditions, Sun Xiangfu can certainly put forward a lot, but Sun Xiangfu will not mention things that are not realistic.

"If you still want to use the trick of gecko's tail to save the wealth of the family, it can only be said that you are dreaming, old accounts, I will not turn over, if you will implement the court's civic policy, greedy money and hand over the money, then, we can continue to talk."

The implementation of the citizen policy to Shannan Province is after the samurai Tong took office, that is, about three years, and the actual implementation is only two years, and the economy of the Tang Dynasty has almost begun to take off from Zhenguan for about two or three years, and Sun Xiangfu calculates that Zhongzhou, which has relatively normal tax payment after three years of Zhenguan, in these three years, each state has almost lost more than one million yuan in fiscal and taxation, with an average of more than 300,000 guan per Chinese New Year's Eve, which is almost the average fiscal and tax level of more than 20 Zhongzhou in the Tang Dynasty, but it is more than one or two times higher than in history.

The reason why there is such a high fiscal and tax is of course that after Sun Xiangfu crossed, he almost relieved Li Shimin of all his losses, and let him advance all the way and develop rapidly, so that the number of people, the output of fields, and the degree of development in various places have increased by one or two times compared with history.

But in fact, the income of several major families in the past three years is by no means more than this, they not only embezzled the money of the imperial court, but also the money of the people.

Cai Can asked, "I don't know if the chief manager has a specific amount?" ”

Sun Xiangfu replied, "The specific amount will be submitted soon, and if the full amount is recovered according to their confessions, each of you will have to hand over about one million yuan in dirty money." ”

"One, more than a million? It can't be, there can never be so many ······"

"Yes! The surplus money I have in a few other houses is only one or two million yuan, and this is what the chief manager can find in the bank, which is the wealth that I have accumulated over hundreds of years······"

Not only Cai Can was shocked by this number, but the rest of the people were also panicked, as second- and third-rate families, they don't have the financial resources as strong as the five surnames and seven families, and they can start millions of yuan of investment at every turn, just like the number that Huang Xu shouted out in a hurry just now, each of them can have one or two million yuan in cash, which is not bad.

But Sun Xiangfu didn't think so, he stretched out his hand to signal a few people to be quiet, and said, "In fact, the income obtained by your families through improper behavior in the past few years will only be more than this number, not less, I want to ask you, three years ago, how much land did your families have?" 300,000 acres, or 500,000 acres? How many fields do you have in your name now? A million acres, two million acres? Where did you come from?

Bought with money.

Your lackeys are corrupt and pervert the law, and exploit what the people have gained.

There are many other industries, such as your Cai family, the real estate you built, the furniture you purchased, the caravans you invested, and the merchant ships you bought, if you don't have hundreds of thousands, you can't take it! The children of your family, studying, and having fun, also spend a lot of money every year!······"

The reason why they only have one or two million yuan of cash on their books is because the money they got has been spent by them, and they want to expand to the current scale by relying on the balance of farming estate, even if the market in Datang is better in all aspects, it is impossible to do it without one or two hundred years, because the income from farming is never high, and when the disaster is serious, it is even damaged and white.

Several people were speechless by Sun Xiangfu again, indeed, since entering the Zhenguan Dynasty, their development has been too rapid, but they didn't think that they ate too hard, and finally burst themselves.

Spend a million yuan to preserve the family's existing property, even if they are all the heads of the family, for a while, they are a little hesitant.

However, Sun Xiangfu spoke again, "If you can meet this basic requirement of the imperial court, then, next, I have a few other requirements to tell you, if you think you can do it, I can order Qian Zhuang to lift the asset imprisonment of several of you." ”

In fact, the money in each family in the money bank is less than two million yuan, and Sun Xiangfu has to take more than one million yuan at a time, which is almost half of it, of course they don't want to.

However, in today's society, all business transactions must use the convenience of the bank, and several of them do not have the ability to transfer large amounts of money, and they cannot make a living under their names, because other businessmen are taking this road, and if they can't get through, they will completely lose their competitiveness.

Imagine, other businessmen only need to put a registered cash deposit ticket in their pockets to go to Chang'an to mention hundreds of thousands of yuan, but a few of them need oxen, horses, carts and boats, and pull up to dozens of tons of cash to trade with people.

You must know that whether it is a registered or bearer deposit ticket, when depositing and withdrawing money in the bank, you need to show a household registration certificate, and the money bank does not even need to ban their access business nationwide, but only needs to prohibit it in the state and county where their family is located, and they will not be able to play with others.

Therefore, several major families who intuitively feel the power of the financial system feel very powerless, and what makes them feel powerless the most is that Sun Xiangfu actually said that there are several conditions behind it, one condition is so difficult to accept, and how many conditions are there? Is this the rhythm that is completely going to bring them down?

"Great, what else does the chief manager want, please tell me about it!"

Even if a few people have a great difficulty, if they don't succeed in mobilizing all the family officials to attack Sun Xiangfu in Chang'an, they are already doomed to failure, after all, they are just a few second- and third-rate families in Shannan Road and Jingxiang, once they are isolated, for today's Datang, they can't make any waves at all.

And they are afraid that they still can't figure out the reason why they are isolated.

First of all, they chose the wrong target, who is Sun Zhengming, although he has come into everyone's sight, it has only been more than six years, but in Datang, he is already a figure like the God of Wealth.

In addition to being one with Li Shimin's henchman group, the top families, which one has no interests with him? Even if it is as strong as five surnames and seven families, a few years ago, they dared to shout and kill Sun Xiangfu, but now, they dare not think about it.

The industries of Weinan, the industries of the North, the industries of Lingnan, and the overseas industries that will become supergiants in the future, every time he takes a ship, he can make a lot of money, as long as one is not boarded, the loss is huge.

If Sun Xiangfu uses the means he can use to impose commercial sanctions on a certain family or a certain place, not to mention a small alliance group of a second- or third-rate family, or a large group of a first-class family, it will break his muscles and bones, and even destroy his entire soul.

Agriculture, commerce, transportation, construction, every industry related to germination, he has quite enough right to speak, second only to Emperor Li Shimin, the object of their attack is any person in the court, it is possible to get the support of many people, but Sun Xiangfu alone, it is impossible to get too many people to support, because everyone wants to take his boat.

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of Cai Can and others, Sun Xiangfu knew that they were not sincerely convinced, they were individuals, and they were unwilling to spit out the wealth they had acquired, but they were just forced by the situation.

Then, Sun Xiangfu, who is stronger than others, naturally wants to take the opportunity to do more things, and said, "The points I said, if you do a good job, it is not all losses, and in the long run, it will also be good for yourself."

First of all, there is the matter of building the fields, where you are located, they are all fertile places along the Yangtze River, the Han River, and the major lakes, however, their terrain is low-lying and prone to flooding.

Therefore, you will have to obey the requisition of the newly appointed officials, and the general division of the land in the territory that I will make in the future, and complete the local construction works as soon as possible.

If the embankment, the irrigation ditches, roads, etc., need to occupy your land, you are not allowed to ask the court for compensation. ”

Several of them are no strangers to the construction of the trench that began two years ago, and they have even taken a boat to see Narita in person, which is almost the most ideal field in this era.

However, the width and height of the embankment, plus the dike and the small embankment, have been along the embankment on both sides of the embankment, the area occupied is really not small, not to mention the length of a mile, that is, the length of a hundred steps, the overall area will be more than ten acres, if a long embankment is built on their family's field, the number of fields lost, I am afraid that there is a lot.

Then there is the road and ditch in the field, there are quite standardized standards on the side of several fields that have been repaired, the width of the main irrigation ditch is more than ten zhang, and the width of the main road plus the position of the road protection forest is more than three zhang, which is generally built along the straight main irrigation ditch.

This is basically some of the construction standards of later generations, Tang Yizhang is about three meters, ten zhang wide river, that is, thirty meters, generally such a wide river, the water surface will also be kept at about fifteen to twenty meters wide, although this width, a person who knows the water can pierce through, but it is almost enough for two or three hundred stone of civilian ships to transport goods in both directions.

Three zhang, that is, nine meters wide road, leave a width of about one meter on both sides, plant one or two rows of road protection forests, the width of the cement road in the middle, about seven meters, basically the standard of the two-lane road in later generations, of course, in this era, you can run three or two carriages side by side, the general carriage, only about one meter five width, larger, will not exceed two meters of width, because of the backward infrastructure, the car of this era will not be too wide, wide, a lot of narrow roads, it will not be able to go.

With such a wide river and such a wide road, it is naturally quite space-consuming to be built.

However, if they think about it in retrospect, it is indeed as Sun Xiangfu said, after it is repaired, it will be beneficial to them in the long run.

Let's look at the impact of this year's flood on several fields that have been built.

The answer is not at all, when the flood is at its highest, it only rises to a height of about two meters at the foot of the embankment, if it were in the past, these places would have been an ocean long ago, which is why no one has farmed here before, because it is difficult to guarantee the harvest.

But now! Even if the water level rises another five meters to the point where it can be flooded to the foot of the Jingzhou city wall, it is not as high as the embankment of the dair, let alone the embankment with a height of more than 15 meters, and the people living in the darts do not need to worry about flooding at all.

Because in the history of this period, there has never been a record of a large flood that can flood the city wall of Jingzhou, and even if there is, it is impossible to rise another ten meters, threatening the safety of the field, that is, as long as the embankment is built, it is impossible to be threatened by flooding.

After the irrigation canals and straight roads are built, the efficiency of cultivation and transportation will be extremely high.

Because, after each main canal is dug, the location of the water inlet is to the river, and the people living in the fields can easily transport their own grain and crops to the embankment along the river by boat.

Most of the wharves along the river are also built at the end of the canal, that is, near the sluice, so that the merchants who purchase the output of grain and rice crops can also store the warehousing and build it in the embankment near the wharf, which is convenient for receiving and shipping, and the traffic is convenient, and the business contacts will be convenient.
